Is is possible to use ECDH with stunnel?

When using s_server and specifying the cipher I can establish a connection. But when using stunnel and specifing the same cipher, the connection is rejected with "no shared cipher".

You are correct. Stunnel currently does not generate temporary ECDH keys with EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name() function. It should be possible to provide ECDH parameters with a certificate instead: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html It's probably also a better choice for performance, as key generation could be a CPU-intensive operation. What do you think? Best regards, Mike
